Gamma camera imaging in an undergraduate physics course

Gamma camera imaging is an important technique in nuclear medicine. It capable of diagnostic metabolically active areas and organ function, it can be used to evaluate blood flow the heart muscle, measure bone growth, detect tumors, perform many other medical studies. a real world application that integrates concepts medicine, physics, geometric optics, data processing, calibration, image formation. This paper provides overview gamma intended for intermediate-level undergraduate physics course students majoring STEM disciplines. Because working with radioactive materials not practical our setting, we use approach involving paper-and-pencil exercises, visible light apparatus, computer work.
